Sheds on TV
Unfortunately you won't see Shed of the year on TV (if you work for netflix then contact me!)
But a few sheds from this year's #shedoftheyear were featured on French TV - including an interview with a finalist Mark Campbell about his Winterwood shed
🛠 Les Anglais sont fous de cabanes de jardin ! Un pub au fond du jardin, un chateau miniature et même une chapelle... Avec le confinement, beaucoup ont construit de A à Z ces lieux insolites. @valerylerouge@chloe_dvg@CharlineMdn@EzvanJulie#JT13H@infofrance2

Sheddie Adam has the tidiest shed I have seen in a long-time, he also has a blog about it
I had the energy to put my new (to me) vintage signs up in the shed yesterday, and I think they look fantastic 😀

Started as just a reply to a tweet about Shed of the year - then it ended with band Shed Seven possibly being judges for Shed of the year 2022 ;) - sometimes twitter is a nice place.
That would be a honour Andrew, we’d be game :)

Your Builds
If you are starting a shed build in your garden, could be storage, office, pub, workshop & definitely if it's a folly, then let me know as I would like to follow the progress and pass it onto the sheddies who are maybe looking to do the same.

Tell me about it!
Any #sheddies want to do a guest post on shedblog.co.uk - could be about your shed #build or what you are #making in your #shed?
Just contact me.
